Definitions
- This invention relates generally to headsets having ear domes adapted to attenuate noise, and is concerned in particular with an improved means for adjusting the headband clamping forces which press the ear domes against the wearer's head.
- headset is intended to encompass not only communication equipment, but also ear protectors and other like noise attenuating devices.
- the objective of the present invention is to provide an improved headset design having multi-position stirrup assemblies which enable users to conveniently choose between a plurality of available headband clamping forces, thereby making it possible to accommodate each user's particular head size while optimizing both comfort and noise attenuation levels.
- a headset having a resilient accurate headband.
- a pair of mutually spaced resilient arcuates stirrups depend from and are mounted to the ends of the headband for pivotal movement about first axes.
- a pair of confronting mutually spaced ear domes are mounted to the ends of the stirrups for pivotal movement about second axes extending transversely with respect to the first axes.
- Cylindrical stud assemblies lie on the second axes and protrude from opposite sides of each ear dome.
- Each stud assembly has a pivot portion and a recessed shifting portion, the diameter of the shifting portion being smaller than the diameter of the pivot portion.
- a plurality of pivot apertures are provided in the ends of the stirrups.
- the pivot aperture are interconnected by and cooperate with intermediate slots to define elongate openings lying on third axes extending between the stirrups and transversely with respect to the second axes.
- the pivot apertures are dimensioned to axially receive and pivotally coact with the pivot portions of respective stud assemblies, with the widths of the slots being smaller than the diameters of the pivot portions of the stud assemblies and dimensioned to slidably receive the shifting portions of the stud assemblies.
- the stirrups are configured to resilient urge selected pivot aperture of the elongate openings into alignment with the pivot portions of respective stud assemblies, and are resiliently deformable to align the connecting slots with shifting portions of the stud assemblies in order to permit the stud assemblies to slide along the connecting slots to other of the pivot apertures.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of headset incorporating multi-position stirrup assemblies in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of one of the ear domes
- FIG. 3 is a an enlarged view of a stirrup end illustrating the multi-position feature
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 4 and showing the ear dome and stirrup end being shifted in relation to one another.
- a headset of the noise attenuating type is shown at 10.
- the headset includes a resilient arcuate headband assembly 12 having a headband spring 12a adjustably connected at its opposite ends to a pair of stirrup clamps 12b.
- the headband spring 12a is partially encased in a cushioned headpad 12c.
- a pair of resilient multi-position stirrups 14 depend from and are mounted to the ends of stirrup clamps 12b by means of rivets 16 or the like.
- the stirrups 14 are pivotable relative to the headband assembly 12 about "first" axes A.
- a pair of confronting mutually spaced noise attenuating ear domes 18 contain earphones schematically depicted at 20.
- the ear domes are arranged between and mounted to the ends of a respective one of the stirrups 14 for pivotal movement about "second" axes B extending transversally with respect to the first axes A.
- Liquid filled ear seals 22 are provided on the interior confronting faces of the ear domes, and one of the ear domes carries an adjustable microphone boom assembly 24.
- each stirrup end 26 is enlarged to accommodate multiple apertures 28a, 28b and 28c.
- the apertures are interconnected by and cooperate with intermediate slots 30 to define elongate openings lying on "third" axes C extending between the stirrups 14 and transversally with respect to the second axes B.
- Cylindrical stud assemblies 32 lie on the second axes B and protrude from opposite sides of each ear dome.
- each stud assembly includes a stud 34 and a self locking shoulder screw 35.
- the stud has a square base 34a embedded in the ear dome 18, and a threaded cylindrical sleeve 34b which defines a pivot portion lying on a second axis B and protruding from the ear dome.
- Each ear dome has two such stud sleeves protruding in opposite directions.
- the screw 35 has a shoulder 35a having the same outer diameter as that of the stud sleeve 34b, and a reduced diameter recessed shifting portion 35b.
- the stirrup ends 26 are resiliently spread apart and applied to the ear domes with the protruding stud sleeves 34b being received in selected apertures 28a, 28b or 28c, the diameters of which are toleranced for a slip fit to accommodate relative pivotal motion between the stirrups and ear domes about the second axes B.
- the screws 35 are then threaded into the stud sleeves to capture the stirrups.
- the widths of the intermediate slots 30 are smaller than the diameters of the sleeves 34b and screw shoulders 35a, yet are large enough to slidably accept the recessed screw portions 35b.
- Shifting of the ear domes in relation to their respective stirrups is accomplished by first resiliently spreading each stirrup end 26 apart into alignment with the recessed screw portion 35b of the stud assembly (as shown by the broken lines in FIG. 4).
- the recessed screw portions are dimensioned to slide along the intermediate slots 30.
- the ear dome can be shifted in any desired direction to place each stud assembly 32 in alignment with a selected one of the apertures 28a, 28b, 28c.
- the stirrup end 26 is then allowed to resiliently snap back to the position shown by the solid lines in FIG. 4. Any number of apertures 28 can be employed.
